I’ve extolled the won­ders of Drop­box before. It is truly won­drous soft­ware, that syn­chro­nizes my com­put­ers, pro­vides a com­plete online backup of all my files, allows access to all my files from any device con­nected to the inter­net, pro­vides a sim­ple way to share doc­u­ments, allows me to roll back to pre­vi­ous ver­sions of a file, and more. All done seam­lessly and smoothly in the background.

You can get 2Gb for free, although I pay $99 per year for 50Gb of space. If you share the word about the ser­vice, you get an addi­tional 0.5Gb of space for every new per­son who signs up.

Today I dis­cov­ered that you can dou­ble your past and future refer­ral space bonuses by sim­ply acti­vat­ing an .EDU email address on your Drop­box account. So if you have an .EDU address, login in to Drop­box and head over to www​.drop​box​.com/edu. Then you will get an addi­tional 1Gb for every new per­son who signs up at your rec­om­men­da­tion.
